RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 quick dial
Had a quick response from Cisco on this. The short and simple answer is NO, the phones cannot be made to dial while on-hook. It was mentioned to me that with SIP 6.0 firmware and onwards you can now manage your own personal directory on the phone (whereas before the phone did it for you), and by pressing the down arrow on the phone while idle gives you a fast was to access the personal directory. This still isn't what I was after, and I've setup an XML directory on the services button anyway :-) > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Lee > Sent: Thursday, 5 February 2004 12:12 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 quick dial > > Then you've got to hand it to Nortel, they do know how to make a damn good > phone extensions for lazy people like me :-) > > I actually believe this isn't the case with the Nortel Meridian systems, > as > I noticed when using one it wouldn't accept the numbers without first > pressing that extensions DN key... perhaps it's just a Norstar CICS/MICS > features. > > Anyway I've opened a TAC case with Cisco and will await their response, > which I'm guessing already will be no, can't hurt to ask tho :-) > > > -Original Message- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian West > > Sent: Wednesday, 4 February 2004 11:58 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 quick dial > > > > I have one word for you...

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 quick dial
Absolutely no argument from me on that front, hands down the Cisco 7940/7960 are a damn good IP phone, and compared to the existing Norstar handsets we have, a far better phone overall. The handsfree functionality on the Cisco's is truly awesome, the mic pickup and clarity is far better than the Norstar and people can barely tell the difference between talking to them on handsfree or picking up the handpiece. Definitely worth every dollar, although I wouldn't say no to them lowering the price, which they appear to have done with the introduction of the 7970. The next phone I want to get is a Cisco 7920 WiFi... although once again, they're on the exy side, I'm sure they'll also be well worth it. Unfortunately they aren't available in Australia yet, hopefully not too far off. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian West > Sent: Thursday, 5 February 2004 12:15 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 quick dial > > hehe ya I have to admit they are very featureful. :P Asterisk is still a > baby i'm sure sip phones will get better with time.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 quick dial
Then you've got to hand it to Nortel, they do know how to make a damn good phone extensions for lazy people like me :-) I actually believe this isn't the case with the Nortel Meridian systems, as I noticed when using one it wouldn't accept the numbers without first pressing that extensions DN key... perhaps it's just a Norstar CICS/MICS features. Anyway I've opened a TAC case with Cisco and will await their response, which I'm guessing already will be no, can't hurt to ask tho :-) > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian West > Sent: Wednesday, 4 February 2004 11:58 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 quick dial > > I have one word for you...

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 quick dial
Out of interest, does anyone know if it's possible to get the 7960 to start accepting a number while on-hook, without having to press "NewCall", the line button, or speaker button? This is just something I was used to with the Norstar extensions, I could immediately start dialing the numbers for an internal extension and it'd work. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jose Inzunza/YM/RWDOE > Sent: Wednesday, 4 February 2004 2:21 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 quick dial > > Is there a way to make the Cisco 7960 SIP phone dial out automatically > without having to press the dial button, once the numbers that you have > entered match a specific pattern?

In it are entries like: etc. I do not have any documents handy that describe the different options, but the options have much of the same functionality as * exten -> statements have.

[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 quick dial
Is there a way to make the Cisco 7960 SIP phone dial out automatically without having to press the dial button, once the numbers that you have entered match a specific pattern? This feature is present when the phone is working with a Cisco CallManager. For example, if all of my internal extensions begin with a '5' and are four digits long, if I dialed '5123' on the phone, the call would initiate once I pressed the '3'. Any help would be appreciated.
